Post-Mueller

I didn't write for a while; most days the Trump news was pretty typical. The Mueller Report release went as I expected--pretty clear that Trump did a bunch of bad/dumb stuff, but not enough to demand impeachment or arrest. 

But stuff just keeps building up. And every time it does, I'm dumbfounded again. How in the world did this happen? How does it continue to happen?

He is a disaster! An ego-maniac--everything is about him! Every time he speaks he shows his ignorance and arrogance. Ridiculing and criticizing everyone except his faithful supporters. 

He accuses everyone else of lying, but insists he and his family tell the truth. And his followers believe him. 

He just passed 10,000 lies/untruths since his election. EVEN if only 10% of those lies are really lies, that's 1,000 lies. Unbelievable. 

This week he lied about late-term abortion, saying that laws democrats are passing allow the murder of children. Ridiculous. No truth to it. But his people believe it. 

A couple other things lately got me.

First, tweeting congratulations to the number TWO pick in the NFL draft, while ignoring the number ONE pick in the NFL draft.

Guess which one is white, and which is not. EVEN if your reason isn't racial--you have to know this will APPEAR incredibly racial! 

Why do it? Maybe because the number two pick supports Trump? With Trump, it's not about what people do or accomplish; it's about how people view and treat him. It's always about him. 

This one floored me.

A bit older, but still hanging around...

"Kim tells me he didn’t know about it, and I will take him at his word,” Trump said in Vietnam.

This is about North Korean president Kim Jong Un. A brutal dictator who has killed members of his own family. 

Trump calls almost everyone a liar--Democrats, reporters, critics, colleagues in government... but a brutal dictator who kills and leads by force; this is whom he chooses to believe and trust.

Fast food for visiting college sports teams. I know he thinks it's cool, but it's really just demeaning.
